This week's OpenStack Summit conference is proving to be a showcase for many announcements of tools that can enhance and extend cloud computing deployments

Mirantis has delivered an online database and aggregation site for vendors and applications in the OpenStack ecosystem. And now, Red Hat has announced that has announced that it is open sourcing ManageIQ, a cloud management program that has been built into Red Hat's CloudForms platform. Joe Fitzgerald, general manager, cloud management, Red Hat, said in a statement: “While some industry players have focused on building an open source cloud infrastructure with OpenStack and selling expensive, proprietary management software on top of that. We believe the entire cloud should be open with no lock-in, so we are contributing this valuable code base to open up the management stack for the first time.” In addition to its software contributions, Red Hat will also provide integration and orchestration content for lab automation.
